Cardi B to drop long-awaited second album Am I The Drama? in September
Cardi B will release her long-awaited second studio album, Am I The Drama?, on September 19.
After warning she will "give them hell" on the follow-up to 2018's Invasion of Privacy, Cardi unveiled the title and release date for her next studio effort.
The WAP rapper cautioned those who have done her wrong I'm "your tyrant", ahead of what looks set to be an explosive record.
Cardi said in a voiceover shared on Instagram this week: 'Seven years and the time has come. Seven years of love, life and loss. Seven years I gave them grace, but now, I give them hell. I learned power is not given, it's taken. I'm shedding feathers and no more tears. I'm not back, I'm beyond. I'm not your villain, I'm your tyrant. The time is here. The time is now.'
Last week, Cardi dropped the fiery tune Outside, on which she takes aim at her ex-husband Offset and mentions her new beau, NFL star Stefon Diggs.
Cardi recently explained that the delay to her album was because the featured artists were yet to deliver the goods.
During an Instagram Live in May, she said: 'I really need these f****** features.
'And it's like I'm not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it's like, come on now! I need that! I need that right now! Helloooo! Y'all don't want to miss this opportunity. I'll sing this s*** myself! But I really need y'all and I need y'all to hurry up and I love y'all. I feel like nobody want to miss being on this album.'
Cardi - who has collaborated with the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Bruno Mars, Lizzo and Migos in the past - revealed she worked with artists she has teamed up with before and some new faces, too.
She went on: 'I don't have a lot of features, but I'm working with artists, some that I have worked with before and some that I haven't worked with before. And the ones that I have not worked with before, I feel like it's gonna really, really surprise y'all.'
She teased: 'It's such a vibe. I'm 100 per cent confident with this album. I just don't think what I got is out there.'

Amanda Bynes turns to Ozempic to achieve weight-loss goal
Amanda Bynes has turned to Ozempic in bid to reach her ideal weight. The 39-year-old star has revealed via social media that she's turned to the well-known weight-loss drug in a bid to reach 130 lbs. In a video shared on Instagram, Amanda explained: "I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. "I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures." The Love Wrecked star - who began her career as a child actor - has promised to keep her social media followers up to date with her weight-loss journey. She said: "I will post about my Ozempic journey of course." Last year, Amanda revealed that she'd gained more than 20 lbs, after suffering with depression. The actress - who has previously battled mental health struggles and drug addiction - insisted that she was on the road to recovery, after overcoming the worst of her health issues. Appearing on Instagram in March 2024, Amanda shared: "I'm doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don't feel like working out or eating clean. "I weigh 162 lbs. right now and want to get back to 110 lbs." Amanda shot to fame as a child on Nickeldeon and went on to have a successful career in Hollywood. However, she quit the entertainment business over a decade ago after enduring a number of personal problems, including an addiction to the ADHD prescription medication Adderall. Amanda launched her own podcast in 2023, but she pulled the plug on the project after just one episode so that she could pursue a more steady job. The former child star revealed that she was quitting podcasting and was instead working towards getting her "manicurist license". At the time, she wrote on Instagram: "The 1st episode of my podcast did really well. I was actually surprised and of course was going to keep going after friends encouraged me to. 'After thinking about it, though, I would rather get my manicurist license and have a consistent job. 'I'm going to follow that path instead. Thank you for following my journey! (sic)"
